Adding Plants In Your House

COVID-19 has kept a lot of us indoors. Because of this, there has been a growing interest in finding ways to bring plants inside. Plants give us a sense of calm. They rejuvenate us and lift our spirits. Here are some ideas for how you might bring plants into your space.

1. Display plants on picture shelves. Find different types—grassy ones, cascading vines, ones with interesting leaves— to create a pleasing visual effect. Select containers that complement each other.

2. Make a terrarium. This is a low-maintenance option for people who don't feel they have a green thumb. You can make them yourself. There are plenty of online instructions on how to do this, or you can buy one. 




3. Grow herbs indoors. If you have some space in the kitchen, you can grow them on your windowsill. If you want to get fancy, you can buy indoor herb garden kits. It's always nice to have fresh cooking herbs within easy reach.

4.  If you don't have a lot of space, consider hanging planters. 


 5. Put humidity-loving plants in the bathroom.


These are just a few ideas. With a little creativity, you can have a peaceful oasis right in your own home. 

Do you have live plants in your home? If so, where do you have them?

  1. Hi Sherry - I usually have done - at the moment ... I don't but I look out over green etc. The other thing is to look for plants that will help eliminate toxins ... but having plants around definitely eases our brains. Great post and reminder what else we can do... all the best and take care - Hilary

  2. We have just a couple. One is a spider plant that was an offshoot from a friend and it's almost 30 years old and spawned over 50 other spider plants.

    1. We've just gotten a cold wave here. I bet if you got it, your plants are finished.

  4. This post has come at exactly the right time. Those who are isolating at home could use garden plants (if they have any!).
    I deal for the Christmas season too.
